A Satisfying moment in Walmart. Everyone is masked here, and i am impressed how politeness has generally gone up, giving people space, especially. So i am going one way, this gal is coming the other & she stops to look at a rack of $5 CD's. She puts her cart firmly where i cannot get past, and the "go around" area on the other side is blocked by a pallet of stuff. So, i quietly stand there, 6' back. After a few minutes(!), i can easily tell she is being a passive-agressive jerk & just waitinng for me to ask her to move. So instead i start coughing violently & wow did she vanish! Too bad so sad...i have inflamed sinuses & can work up a nasty-sounding cough at the drop of a hat! Buwahahahahaaa! Now she has to worry about how long she was near me, which was totally her choice!
Proud of you again ....creative performance artful living.... my kind of Yoko Ono....imitating assholes to cure them in situ
Tsk tsk. Bad bad girl.
Great woman teaching bad girl
Philadelphia police have been enforcing trespass. Everybody has a mask in Wal-Mart, Home Depot and every store. I saw one incident. The customer acted up and was removed bodily.
Walmart and Aldi here refused to say anything to customers who weren't wearing masks. I complained at both stores and they both had associates that said there was nothing they could do.
@JeffMurray I have Plenty to say to them!!! Or, like me you could start violently coughing while having your mask " accidentally" come loose......
@AnneWimsey People have been charged with crimes for that. I just ask how they'd feel if their children died from the disease right in front of their children.
@JeffMurray Minimum wage workers don't get paid enough to be bouncers. I don't shop at Wal-Mart if I can help it. I love Aldi and everyone wears masks. Went to a store called Lidl today, everyone wore masks. I know Governor DeWine has done a good job in a red state. You live in Cleveland? That's a shame people are so stupid. Stay safe if you can Jeff.
@barjoe Walmart has a loss control department that's perfectly capable on monitoring and enforcing behavior. If you can watch to see if someone stole and apprehend them, you can watch to see if they are wearing a mask (or shirt/shoes as has been a rule for as long as I've been alive at least) and enforce or remove the patron. If a customer was juggling knives walking around the store, you don't think they'd step in and or call the police? How is this any different? Aldi can simply post a sign that that employees or customers are encouraged to call the police for entrance without a mask and that they will cooperate with prosecution for trespassing by providing video and anything else they have. It's really not hard. More and more people don't wear masks simply because they know it won't be addressed. A vast majority of people who are asked to put on their masks will without a fuss. The others need to be arrested to learn their lesson.
@JeffMurray You are right.
@JeffMurray you can only be charged with assault (people with AIDS have been convicted for spitting on others) IF you are in fact infected...I just happened to need to cough. Big difference!
@AnneWimsey I don't think that's true...

@JeffMurray sorry, there are no laws preventing me or anyone else from "just coughing"...I was even maintaining social distance! Where do you get from my post i was acting aggressively & violating protocol?????? Just standing patiently waiting for her to give me room to get by while maintaining distance....I even had my mask on the entire time. Just wow.....
@AnneWimsey I'm guessing he was thinking deliberately coughing on someone, which you didn't do. That would be assault, in the least.
@AnneWimsey My link was specifically responding to the part of your comment where you imply assault can't be charged unless you are infected.
@JeffMurray ummm, their children/friends will not be allowed to be near them if they are dying, or even very sick....life nowadays is Not a Dickens novel.....
@AnneWimsey I don't know what you're talking about anymore...
@JeffMurray you posted just above how bad you feel thinking about kids watching their parents die....dragging in GawdKnowsWhat to my original light-hearted post, but no, we gotta go to the death & dying
@AnneWimsey I apologize, we had a little miscommunication if that's what you got from my post. I was pointing out the thing I like to do to fuck with assholes in stores in the era of Covid.
